Kevin Feige Says The ‘Avengers 4’ Title Secrecy Has ‘Backfired’

Although excitement for Avengers: Infinity War has been through the roof, it seems that the film’s follow-up has cast a bit of a shadow over its release. Early on, The Russo Brothers teased that the official title for Avengers 4 would spoil the ending of Infinity War. Considering the films were initially developed as two parts of the Infinity War storyline, these comments have left fans wondering just where our heroes will be at the end of the first film. In an interview with IGN, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige admitted that The Russo Brothers’ comments were meant to keep the focus on Infinity War.

“I’ve said before, it’s gotten entirely out of hand. And now will have no chance to living up to any expectations of what it’s gonna be. And it sort of backfired, if I’m honest with you, because the notion was to not talk about it so the focus was to be on [Infinity War].”

It’s certainly a frustrating situation to be put in. Most interviews promoting Infinity War have steered into the question of Avengers 4’s title in some way or another. Surely, no one expected that this epic film could be overshadowed by a movie that doesn’t even have a title yet. Still, it is doubtful that this will spell trouble for Infinity War, as it is looking at a massive opening weekend.

Here is the synopsis for Avengers: Infinity War:

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
